Miley led all of MLB in both walks and BB per 9 innings. I can see attributing some of that to a fear of throwing strikes at Camden Yards (or Fenway or Yankee Stadium), but I sure thought he suffered from an inability as well as unwillingness to put the ball over the plate. 

My sense was it was more a case of “nibblitis” than inability.    You’re talking about a guy who had a career 2.8 BB/9 before putting up 5.3 last year.

I don't need to fight to prove I am right.

Vargas...and a 2018 team era around 4.8. That's what's next.

MLBTR says Mets are interested in Vargas.  So he may sign soon.  

Tillman could sign at any time.

Vargas maybe. O's won't sign Cobb or Lynn. I sure wish they would though.

"We'll travel south  'cross land."  Obviously a reference to players, coaches, media, etc. heading to spring training.

Maybe, just maybe, the team relents on demanding two young SPs for Machado and actually trades him for one young stud + stuff.  Reference:  White Sox.

It was crazy to think they were going to get 2 MLB-ready starters for Machado, anyway.   I'd just like to see us get the best package possible, regardless of position.

I'm thinking trade. Oderizzi makes sense to me. We have surplus OF/DH/1B bats that they need. I like McHugh but I don't want to give up Givens,. We need a strong pen.
